Whether you're adding on to your electronic drum kit, turning your
acoustic kit into a hybrid setup, or looking for a lightweight
electronic kit for grab-and-go gigs, you're going to dig the Alesis
SamplePad Pro. This awesome electronic percussion pad starts off strong
with six large dual-zone pads and a pair of raised dual-zone rims plus
over 200 killer drum and percussion samples, but it gets even cooler
when you consider all the great ways you can expand it to meet your
needs. Extra trigger and pedal inputs let you turn the SamplePad Pro
into a full kit, whereas SD storage lets you rock out with your own
samples.

Playable pads plus easy expansion options onboardIn
addition to its six main pads, the Alesis SamplePad Pro sports a pair
of narrow ridges along the back, bringing the total number of pads up to
eight. These eight pads (each framed in blue LED light) already give
you enough triggers to cover a decent sized drum kit, but they're
actually all 2-zone sensors, putting a total of 16 sounds at the tip of
your sticks from the moment you fire this bad boy up. Need more pads? No
problem! There are two additional inputs that let you hook up even more
pads. What's more, you can expand the SamplePad Pro with both a kick
pedal input and a hi-hat controller input, allowing you to turn it into a
super-portable electronic drum and percussion kit that's perfect for
live performance.

Expand your sound collection with built-in SD storageThe
SamplePad Pro comes with a solid collection of over 200 totally
playable drum, cymbal, and assorted percussion sounds, which you can
arrange as you like into dozens of drum kits. You even have control over
each sound's key attributes, such as pitch, panning, and even reverb.
Cooler still, the SamplePad Pro supports up to 32GB SD card media,
allowing you to load up a world of your own custom sounds. Once your
sounds are loaded up, it's easy to set up unique kits that play the way
you want them to, thanks to the SamplePad Pro's simple controls.

Integrate your samples into any music creation rigWhether
you're using it to trigger sounds to trigger MIDI in the studio or
taking it onstage where you can use it to fire off loops and sequences
from your drum kit, the connection options onboard the SamplePad Pro
make setup easy. A single USB connection is all you need to send audio
and MIDI between your SamplePad Pro and your computer, making it
incredibly easy to integrate with your favorite DAW or sample program.
Traditional 1/4" outs combined with MIDI I/O accommodate nearly any
other kind of rig out there, but the kicker is the combination of a
headphone output with a stereo aux input, which lets you rock out to
backing tracks, without bugging your neighbors.
